PlayStation Store Preview – July 24th, 2012

It’s ALIVE! The PlayStation Vita, that is. The Vita is getting not one, but two new titles. One of them, however, is also available for the PlayStation 3. Outside of the PlayStation Vita, the once Japanese PS3 exclusive Malicious, is finally coming to North America. Don’t miss our PlayStation Plus section for new offers, and our Coming Soon section for a full update on the many hot titles coming to the PlayStation Network throughout the year. Plus, see all of the PSN Play title coming over the next month’s worth of updates. - PSLS

Way past due, though. It's been a rough month ad a half since Gravity Rush released. I know the system is just getting started, but there should have been some more PSN releases ready to hold things over.

You can't get Metal Gear Peace Walker from the store, but if you download it to a PS3 you can load it up through the content manager. At least I was able to a few firmwares ago, I might have just gotten lucky.

The one thing I will say about the Vita drought is it has gotten me to take a 2nd look at some PSP titles I missed or neglected. Cladun and Cladun X2 are great. And of course Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is hours and hours of awesome... but sad because I fear it's the last Monster Hunter we'll see on a PlayStation platform thanks to stupid f'ing Capcom.

ah i see sev, thanks. ill have to figure out of i can DL it form ps3 bc i was having problems/ i dont wanna buy it and not be able to port it...

and yeah they look good, and monster hunter freedom looks excellent i really want it. i just bought fate/EXTRA which looks to be one of the greatest digital novels similar to psersona3. ill let you know ima bot to play it now

Our children's children will call it the "Great Vita Drought of '12"...

There was a pretty decent launch window, and then it's sort of sucked ever since. Didn't they learn their lesson with the PSP? The PS3? Software sells hardware. To some extent the reverse is true too, but if there is nothing to play on the device, what is the point of the device?

Honestly im not even surprise by this drought. I already knew this was going to happen. If you did your research. You would have known too. I love my vita and the backlog of psp games is helping me through this drought

@Mika not that I'm surprised, just disappointed. PS3 got a slow start because of the lack of games. The PSP died because the games dried up because of piracy. I was just optimistic that Sony would have tried to line up the pipeline with at least a few morsels every couple weeks.

Granted, there have been some pretty decent games already and we're only about 5 months into its life in North America...

Sadly, it's not much, and nowhere near enough to excuse this dreadful patch of nothingness from June to October.

I swear, each time Sony makes a new console... handheld or otherwise, the deliver an impressive machine on every level... but then seem to go way, way out of their way to completely sabotage it. That's the only -possible- explanation for this kind of crap.

I agree, I have learnt to not really buy Sony consoles on release. I got my PS3 on release and thankfully Oblivion released on it shortly after which was enough to hold me over for about a year or two before games started to actually release.

I just sold my Vita for a 3DS... Best decision I have made gaming wise. Enjoying playing Kingdom Hearts, Mario, StarFox and Zelda instead of literally just Uncharted Golden Abyss.

Not that I am against the Vita, it is a great system but the software is not even close yet. I believe it will eventually be a success though, even this fall with All Stars I will possibly end up buying another one =D but for now... No.
